We take the time to help you choose from our extensive range of long lasting and durable eyewear and you can trust H&D to find the right piece that suits your individual personality, lifestyle and budget.
We are convinced that there is a contact lens for everyone. Please contact Claire or one of our expert dispensers for more information and to book your bespoke contact lens consultation.
We make no apologies for believing our greatest asset is the extensive experience and expertise of our award-winning Optometrist and owner of H&D, Claire Ranger. It is this expertise that sets Hammond and Dummer apart from others and enables us to provide the world class eye care that our customers have come to expect.
With owner Claire Ranger at the helm, Hammond & Dummer is an independent, family run business with a focus on clinical excellence, cutting edge technology balanced with a family centric approach.
A lot of our patients have asked us whether there are other branches of Hammond & Dummer or alternatively is the practice a franchise. No, our practice is the only independent optician in Central Milton Keynes. Hammond and Dummer is a single family run practice, no franchises or large multinational companies in the background holding shares and directing the business; it is Claire Ranger, her husband, Bob and ‘The Girls’ delivering exceptional eye care.
"I have been a customer of Hammond & Dummer since the practice opened and I have never been anywhere else for glasses or lenses, not even online! Why you may ask? Well mainly because of the exemplary service and welcome you get every time you walk through the door, I now even have my own PGA (personal glasses assistant) Jennie! Lol. All jokes aside, I am treated like a friend and not just a customer, that makes all the difference to me and is why I will always be a customer and will always recommend the practice for customer service, product range and innovation. SPECtacular! :)"
We are nothing without the commitment and dedication of our wonderful team.
Claire and her talented team will take extra special care of your child and go that extra mile both during the eye examination and also while helping them to choose the right frames.
Lindberg Precious collection is one of the most exclusive in luxury and we are delighted to have been chosen by Lindberg to offer this luxury and exclusivity to our patients
Makita’s first collection was inspired by the ancient art of Japanese origami. Choosing to use ultra-thin Scandinavian stainless steel, and work with the metal properties rather than use manufacturing techniques to overcome its limitations, Collection No 1 was born. Collection No 1 features frames cut from a 0.5mm sheet of stainless steel then bent and folded by hand, no welding or soldering, and a break through development in eyewear production.
Every pair of glasses is still designed and produced in the latest Mykita Haus in a quiet residential area of Berlin’s Mitte district, and much of the company’s success is based on word-of-mouth. At Mykita every department, from design to production to shipping, is housed under one roof. The end result is revolutionary, cutting-edge technology used to create lightweight, streamlined designs – making Mykita one of the world’s most recognizable and sought-after brands.
The MOSCOT optical roots were first planted in America by Great Grandfather and family patriarch, Hyman Moscot, who arrived from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island in 1899. Hyman began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan’s famed Lower East Side.
Established in 1970, the Linda Farrow brand of luxury eyewear rose quickly to acclaim. Originally a fashion designer herself, Linda Farrow was one of the first to treat sunglasses as fashion, her finger always on the pulse of the times. A tireless experimenter, Farrow pioneered many of the shapes and styles that remain au courant today. Her pioneering use of shape helped move eyewear into high-fashion territory, with avant-garde styles favoured by stars like Yoko Ono and working with brands such as Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Sonia Rykiel.
